This is What Happy Looks Like


A 17 year old movie star accidently emails a girl in rural Maine and then likes her so much he moves his movie shoot to her town and surprises her. She has no idea he's a movie star and has to avoid him due to the paparazzi and her secret past scandal involving a rising politician.
To sum it up this book was super cute. It was well written and entertaining and I wasn't rolling my eyes at the way that teens speak to each other. I would highly recommend it as an easy cute summer read. I have to warn you though that the ending is a little bit disappointing. I love neatly tied up happy endings and this is not quite as neat as I would like. It's decent, but not perfect. I know she ended it like that on purpose because life does not always turn out neatly, but this is fiction and I like my happy endings.

I finished this yesterday morning and I am now knee deep in Celine by Brock Cole. Holy Crap is he an amazing writer. He writes like Diablo Cody in Juno. It's smart and sassy and witty and totally believable for smart aleck teen dialog. I can't tell where it's going yet, but I'm excited for the journey.

In throw back news I am also reading The Monk A Romance by Matthew Lewis. It was published in 1796. It is amazing. There is so much sex and scandal in this book it's a wonder it's not written by Jackie Collins. I love it. It has ghosts and gothic elements and monks being led astray and it  is also about true love. Is there anything better to write a story about? I think not. I can't wait to finish it.
